Current Mood:  happy with my old acoustic...

Guitar

 

- recently took up my guitar again, an old acoustic Vantage... luckily, I'm ambidextrous, so the left-handed way isn't a huge challenge, except for one chord positioning so far (picture above) ... singing and playing songs myself are my goals... it's way overdue... 

 

Two reasons why I choose

To play my right-handed guitar

The left-handed way, with

The strings 'upside down' :

 

1 - my left wrist has a sizable cyst between my ligaments making my hand too

     weak and too painful to apply the pressure to make the chords

2 - I don't like the idea of being limited to an adapted guitar to be able to play it

 

Right now, doing the G

Chord is a little challenging

Awkward to switch and press

All three fingers at once

 

It's a strange positioning

Not all too natural getting

The index across in one go

I can, but not always yet

 

It's getting there, though

Muscle memory is definitely

Happening as I switch most

Chords relatively well so far

 

It's just that G

I found two ways to do it

But one is completely 'no'

The other, a little awkard

 

But much more doable

I'll keep at it, make it work

There's really nothing else

Better than to play music!
